Staff was excellent. Yes, it's older but in a nostalgic way. It actually takes a key to open the door and don't forget to lock when you leave. They don't automatically lock when you shut the door. Room was warm (was -15 out) and nice hot shower with great water pressure.

I had low expectations but the check in staff was friendly, the room was clean, and we would gladly stay again! Great price and good location (we were in Kenai for a swim meet...I'm not sure how expensive these rooms are in the summer, but I'm sure that they aren't cheap!)

The customer service was absolutely amazing. There was a bit of miscommunication on the app, and booking needs. The assistance that we received from the lovely lady at the front desk, went above and beyond.

20 year old mattresses
They only have one room available if you book through Hotels. Terrible, uncomfortable beds. Beds were listed as full size, they are single and very short. I slept better in the chair. The hotel was empty, they could have given us a different room. This place is for sale, no wonder. I will never stay there again.

We enjoyed the stay at Uptown as it provided many conveniences while on our fishing trip. Inviting, cleaning and safe. The on-site restaurant and bar were added pluses. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

This was our first time staying here. Everything was outstanding. Allie at the front desk was very helpful. Everything in the room was perfect. There is an excellent restaurant in the building. We will definitely stay here again.

Room was spacious and comfortable. Only questionable event was finding a handful of Frito chips on the the desk chair. Which means the chair was not moved and thus under the desk not cleaned. The room seemed clean otherwise. The bed was really comfortable.

Do not stay here! Very dirty. I don’t think the carpet had been cleaned in years. Sheets were dirty. No toilet paper and towels. When asked to get two towels they were hesitant. When she gave them to me she said they don’t match but they are clean! I did get some toilet paper!
